has created noisy, minimalistic black metal soundscapes by himself with his group, Xasthur.Aaron Turner), and has contributed to the groups Sick (US) and Mord (US), as well as vocals for SunnO)), he is music sounds like the work of an isolationist.Earlier this year, Malefic answered some questions I had for a feature I was writing for CMJ.He wanted the original, unexpurgated interview to appear so he could not be misquoted, which I completely understand.At the end of this interview, he says that it will be his last, but only time will tell if that's not the case.Nevertheless, in this interview, done via email, he is candid, thorough and witty.Franz reference near the end (or maybe I'm missing something).Nevertheless, it was an honor to do an interview with Malefic.Why are you including drums and cello on your forthcoming album?Will you be playing the instruments?To be specific enough, at least five of the songs will have real drums and three will have cello.Being on my own is what has worked best, but the future might have something else in store.And it became something urban and was something I grew out of.Once I discovered black metal, the transition came naturally, and it was more in tune with the way I felt and looked at life.There is a lot more of a funeral doom influence in the music I create.Being untraditional is about the only thing that sparks my interest anymore.With black metal, the possibilities are many but not endless.Steve Roach in interviews.The Magnificent Void was the album.In what ways do you feel rock comes into your music?There is no influence from rock music in the music I make.How do you keep a balance between your art and business?Both can certainly be loyal to the wrong people!Does some label (if not the music) give the sheep some kind of identity?Cult labels are a thing of the past.Wake up and get over it.Hear me now, believe me later.No thanks to the internet, mouths and opinions have become more significant than contributions.The internet is the same thing as a television or a tabloid that gossips about movie stars, and this has no place in black metal.The balance is a good question, there have been times, not long ago, where the business part of things felt like it was becoming a distraction and a frustration, but I made it through all that.But still, looking back and even with these great excuses, I should have found a way.For example, there has never been a need for me to make a song about a fucking goat, and there are different ways to express misery, hatred, evil, emptiness and darkness, but more on a personal level, personal attack and affect.Mirrors are the voices in your head that you thought no one heard, but someone did.Tormenting human beings with mirrors is more fatal than cracking their head open or sticking a knife in them.What are your views on black metal artists whose goal it is to spread the word of Satan?What has kept you there for so many years?Thanks again for taking the time to do this interview.For more on Xasthur, visit xasthur.It's gonna be so badass!The Top Releases of 2007
